IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION
This document has been made available to shareholders of Endesa, S.A. (the "Company" or "Endesa"). Investors are urged to read Endesa’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, which was filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) on August 3, 2007, as it contains important information. The Solicitation/Recommendation Statement and other public filings made from time to time by the Company with the SEC will be available without charge from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and at the Company’s principal executive offices in Madrid, Spain.
Statements in this document other than factual or historical information are “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements regarding Endesa’s anticipated financial and operating results and statistics are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to material risks, uncertainties, changes and other factors which may be beyond Endesa’s control or may be difficult to predict. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements in this document will be realized.
Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: (1) estimated future earnings; (2) anticipated increases in wind and CCGTs generation and market share; (3) expected increases in demand for gas and gas sourcing; (4) management strategy and goals; (5) estimated cost reductions and increased efficiency; (6) anticipated developments affecting tariffs, pricing structures and other regulatory matters; (7) anticipated growth in Italy, France and elsewhere in Europe; (8) estimated capital expenditures and other investments; (9) expected asset disposals; (10) estimated increases in capacity and output and changes in capacity mix; (11) repowering of capacity; and (12) macroeconomic conditions.
The following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this document, could cause actual financial and operating results and statistics to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements:
· | Economic and Industry Conditions: Materially adverse changes in economic or industry conditions generally or in our markets; the effect of existing regulations and regulatory changes; tariff reductions; the impact of any fluctuations in interest rates; the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates; natural disasters; the impact of more stringent environmental regulations and the inherent environmental risks relating to our business operations; and the potential liabilities relating to our nuclear facilities. |
· | Transaction or Commercial Factors: Any delays in or failure to obtain necessary regulatory, antitrust and other approvals for our proposed acquisitions or asset disposals, or any conditions imposed in connection with such approvals; our ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully; the challenges inherent in diverting management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during the process of integrating acquired businesses; the outcome of any negotiations with partners and governments; any delays in or failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals (including environmental) to construct new facilities or repower or enhance our existing facilities; shortages or changes in the price of equipment, materials or labor; opposition of political and ethnic groups; adverse changes in the political and regulatory environment in the countries where we and our related companies operate; adverse weather conditions, which may delay the completion of power plants or substations, or natural disasters, accidents or other unforeseen events; and the inability to obtain financing at rates that are satisfactory to us. |
· | Political/Governmental Factors: Political conditions in Latin America and changes in Spanish, European and foreign laws, regulations and taxes. |
· | Operating Factors: Technical difficulties; changes in operating conditions and costs; the ability to implement cost reduction plans; the ability to maintain a stable supply of coal, fuel and gas and the impact of fluctuations on fuel and gas prices; acquisitions or restructurings; and the ability to implement an international and diversification strategy successfully. |
· | Competitive Factors: the actions of competitors; changes in competition and pricing environments; and the entry of new competitors in our markets. |
Further information about the reasons why actual results and developments may differ materially from the expectations disclosed or implied by our forward-looking statements can be found under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Except as may be required by applicable law, Endesa disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in this document.
This Amendment to Schedule 14D-9 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 originally filed by Endesa with the SEC on August 3, 2007 and amended from time to time thereafter. Except as otherwise indicated, the information set forth in the original Schedule 14D-9 and previous amendments thereto remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the original Schedule 14D-9.

ENDESA EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING
You are a shareholder of Endesa.
As such, you have the right to decide on the tender offer made for the company.
The offerors have conditioned the offer, and thus their acceptance of shares sold to them in the offer, upon the modification of certain provisions of Endesa’s bylaws. Such modifications include the elimination of the limitation that prevents a single shareholder from exercising more than 10% of Endesa’s voting rights.
At Endesa’s Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, which will be held at first call on Tuesday, September 25, in Madrid (exhibition hall number 9 of the Juan Carlos I Exhibition Centre – IFEMA), shareholders will decide whether to modify these bylaw provisions.
The outcome of this Meeting is decisive for your investment. If you want to decide on the tender offer, you should participate in the Meeting.
Participation in the Meeting is very simple. You may do so in any of the following ways:
· | By bringing the Meeting attendance card provided to you by the financial institution or savings bank where your shares are held to Endesa’s main executive offices located at Calle Ribera del Loira, number 60 in Madrid; to your financial institution or savings bank; to the offices that Endesa has provided for this purpose or by mail, sending the card using the return envelope provided. |
· | By voting or designating a proxy vote via Internet at www.endesa.es. |
· | By attending the Meeting in person and bringing your signed attendance card. |
ATTENDANCE FEE.
